is it possible to cut and paste linux shadow file passwd hashes to smbpasswd file?

Hello All, I am new to samba and need some help from the samba experts. I have installed, configured and running samba 2.03 on IRIX 6.5 It is working pretty well with encrypted password on. I have converted the /etc/passwd file to smbpasswd with mksmbpasswd script which generated 32X's format as stated in the documentation. Now the problems is, this smbpasswd file generated is not the

Really odd behaviour on a Debian/Squeeze system: when users change their password from within Windows, everything works fine (i.e. passdb.tdb is updated and /etc/shadow as well via password sync, the user can log in on both systems). When I try to assign a new password via smbpasswd (or create a new user, which causes the real problem), /etc/shadow is updated properly (unix logins are possible),

Hi, I'd like to announce a beta patch to the KDE user manager (kuser) that integrates the management of the smbpasswd encrypted password file with the existing password file. The eventual target audience is administrators installing Samba based PDC's, or other applications where an encrypted smbpasswd file needs to be managed using graphical tools not too dissimilar

Hi everyone, I'm still debuging my installation of samba. in /textdocs/DIAGNOSIS.txt under test 7, it suggested that - you have shadow passords (or some other password system) but didn't compile in support for them in smbd How do I check if my shadow passwords isn't compiled in support for them in smbd, if they are not, how do I go about compiling them? - you enabled password

Greetings All Big thanks to Mr Fenwick and others for posting the workaround for the NT 4.0 SP 3 update issue. A number of users do not have direct access to a shell, with their profile execing a financials application. This makes syncing password changes a problem as password ageing is enforced. I am in the "final throes" of completing a Perl script that will check the ageing info

Hello, I'm using samba2.02 and shadowed passwords. I' m on the way to migrate from plaintext to encrypted passwords. Therefore I've set the parameter update encrypted to "Yes". After everyone has logged in I will set this parameter to "No" again and set encrypted passwd = Yes. So far, so good. But three questions are remaining for me: a) what to do with those who

Dear all, How can I convert the Linux users password (/etc/shadow) to Samba users password (.../private/smbpasswd)? Best Brazilian regards -- Rodrigo Noroaldo de Castro Fernandes r.fernandes@darumaorga.com.br

Hi guys, I'm trying to setup a PostgreSQL authentication database in my network and I already get NSS and PAM working. Well, as PAM is well configured I can login on my box, change password and other things, but now I want to be able to use this same pair of login/password to connect to a share on this box via a windows machine. I've changed smb.conf to use plain text passwords since

Hi, Any user (besides root) cannot execute smbpasswd, neither for command line nor from the WinNT "Change password dialog". Samba works as a PDC for the domain. Additional info: 1) konsole output: Old SMB password: machine 127.0.01 rejected the password change: Error was: The specified password is invalid. Failed to change password for USERNAME (USERNAME stands for a real user name

Hello, I am trying to walk through the following document: http://homepages.lu/charlesschwartz/radius/freeRadius_AD_tutorial.pdf in order to authenticate Cisco router and switch logins against FreeRadius/Active Directory. Using the HowTo, I have successfully joined a FC2 box to our Windows 2003 AD for testing purposes. I have also successfully used the manual ntlm_auth command to authenticate

Hello. When I run smbpasswd from samba 3.0.23a on a MIPSEL system running Linux 2.4.20 as root, I'm NEVER asked for a password. Even when I create a new user in smbpasswd, I'm not asked: root@HD.bei.digitalprojects.com:/etc/samba# strings smbpasswd root:0:AAD3B435B51404EEAAD3B435B51404EE:31D6CFE0D16AE931B73C59D7E0C089C0:[U ]:LCT-44D63D42:

Hello, I am trying to run Samba 2.2.8a in an embedded linux system and running into problems with smbpasswd. With both smbd and nmbd processes running fine ( the log files at log level 3 don't show errors), when I try to add a user to the smbpasswd file I get the following error. # smbpasswd -a pbathini New SMB password: Retype new SMB passwd: User pbathini does not exist in system passwd

Hello, I am running Samba 3.4.7 on Ubuntu 10.04 amd64. Due to legacy support, I am using a smbpasswd file (chmod 600) instead of the newer tdbsam database. It is also worth noting that this server also has LDAP authentication enabled (for SSH access). Clients access Samba from both Windows 7 and Windows XP. The smb.conf file is as follows: [global] workgroup = HOME printcap name =

I'm just migrating a medium sambainstallation from old samba2.2.8 to new samba 3.0. The server is acting as PDC and there is no BDC. The new samba is based on LDAP and is already successfully tested. Now I need to transfer the whole old smbpasswd to the new ldap-style to convert users and machines with minimal effort. Especially I dont want to break the relations between the machines and

Hi all I'm not sure whether to go to the ppp lists for this, or the samba lists. I thought I'd try here first. I have a linux firewall using winbind to authenticate users coming in with PPTP. It all seemed to work OK at first. After a while I noticed that authentication was denied to users who had previously (as in less than a day) authenticated successfully. After a day or so of

Hello all, I am new to the list and am in need of some assistance: Does anyone have a current solution that they are using to synchronize the smbpasswd's on samba 3.0 with their local /etc/shadow passwords on RedHat 3.0 ES? I need a way to do this for the existing users on the system and for new users that get created nightly on the systems. Our users do log into the system remotely as
